It's All the Same

MULETEERS:

Aldonza! Aldonza!
I come for love.
I come for love.
I come to Aldonza for love.

 

ALDONZA:

One pair of arms is like another.
I don't know why or who's to blame.
I'll go with you or with your brother.
It's all the same.
It's all the same.

 

This I have learned: that when the light's out
no man will burn with special flame.
You'll prove to me before the night's out
you're all the same.
You're all the same.

 

So do not talk to me of love.
I'm not a fool with starry eyes.
Just put your money in my hand
and you will get what money buys.

 

One pair of arms is like another.
I don't know why or who's to blame.
I'll go with you or with your brother.
It's all the same.
It's all the same.

 

Oh, I have seen too many beds,
but I have known too little rest,
and I have loved too many men
with hatred burning in my breast.

 

I do not like you or your brother.
I do not like the life I live,
but I am me. I am Aldonza,
and what I give,
I choose to give.

 

One pair of arms is like another.
It's all the same.
It's all the same.

 

MULETEERS:

Aldonza!
